Description
A tutorial on how to make your pixels bigger!
Simply zoom in, take a screenshot of the zoomed in pixel - pop the screenshot into MS Paint or a similar program and make it transparent with a program or website such as Ezimba.com ~
You can also turn antialiasing off and use the Wand tool to remove the background - however I've never tried this method so I cant help any further with that ~

It depends on your screenshot software - i use Lightshot

or you could save it as a jpeg and select the zoom in size, idk if that affects anything tho so,,,,

jpegs blur the pixels a lot, so it's not a good option for saving anything originally created as pixel art c:

What I do is : when you are zoomed in (800%) take a screenshot, paste it and crop your pixel work, then save.

;; how do you make the icons so detailed? And the pixels are so little how does it fit as an icon even?!?! I try to make an icon like the one you put in the desc with the small pixels but they are so big like this > mythicalpawz.deviantart.com/ar… 
EDIT: THIS WAS ALSO VERY HELPFUL!!
